PG&E: Gunshots brought down power line that killed man

Multiple gunshots brought down power lines in East Oakland during Fourth of July festivities Friday night that killed one man and seriously injured another, a PG&E spokeswoman said.

A preliminary investigation by PG&E found that "multiple bullets hit and damaged the power line" that came down in the 1900 block of 89th Avenue at about 11:35 p.m. Friday, PG&E spokeswoman Tamar Sarkissian said.

Police found the lines down between two unresponsive men who were both taken to a hospital.
